are so important to us gathered here. what's more we are agreeing that 50% of the apprentice level work will go to local residents and launching the program that the mayor talked about and the returning veterans and the construction jobs created at this site. we are grateful for all of our friends and especially labor, and the trade representatives and the community advocates and the public officials and those represented here today. a landmark deal like this doesn't get done without the involvement of all the parties. thanks for having us here and it's our privilege and it's a great day. thank you mayor. [applause] >> so local hire would not be the law of the city if not for the board of supervisors. i want to acknowledge the members that are here today.

supervisor eric mar. [applause] -- the architect of our local hire law john avalos. [applause] and our board president david chiu who i would like to say a few words. [applause] >> good morning. on behalf of the board i am very happy to be part of the celebration of this milestone and just want to take a moment for all of us to look around this room. we talk about the diversity of san francisco, but it's not everyday that we come together in the way that we are this morning. i also want to start by thanking the warriors, management and your organization for playing ball with the city for making sure we are setting a standard for how we do privately funded projects and on behalf of the board i want to thank you for that and

thank those that have been warriors for this concept to making sure local projects involve local employees. from the community partners and chinese for affirmative action entailed what the issue was and our employers that supported local hiring and our champion of local hire supervisor avalos. mr. mayor since you came into office this is on the top of your agenda and local hire and want to thank and you the port and work force development and jenn mattes and all of the departments coming together for this and of course i want to thank the men and women who will be doing the work. you are building the history of the city and a great gym for

all and we will have a meeting at the board of supervisors to move the next phase of the project. we have issues around design and traffic and access but it's my hope with the spirit of collaboration that we moved forward and would be difficult to move forward. i look forward to make sure 2017 is the date for tip off. thank you so much. [applause] >> and representing some of the men and women who working with the warriors project i have mike perry from the building trades. [applause] >> and i want to start by acknowledging the labor folks in the room. a number of folks are away right now and a meeting in san diego and a lot of them are down there but in the room we

have victor par and oscar lab tory and sean smith and adriane simy and carl with the local carpenters 22, danny campbell with the sheet metal workers and the operating engineers -- who am i missing? ramone hernandez right behind me. i should have looked back. [applause] and additionally mike mc kenny with electricians and tim paulson with the labor council and mike casey president in the back of the room over there. this is a project of the kind that makes building trades workers salivate. it is a startingly beautiful design from what we have seen so far. i am

going to embarrass myself and speak in norwegian and it's the kind of project where we can look forward to bringing our skills to work on a project that will fully demand those skills, so that is quite apart from the hours it will bring to us, it quite a part from the food we will put on the table and the house payments and so on. that's one of the reasons this project really excites us and it's a dramatic project. however, we are happy to try to minimize the drama of actually building the project and this is what this particular agreement d a lot of things are in this particular agreement and i think it's a real accomplishment, something that will provide us a practical and effective means of addressing local hire andet going san franciscans to work so thank you.

[applause] >> so our final speaker is really the foremost community lead in the local hire movement and that is environment commissioner josh arsay. [applause] >> thank you. thank you mayor lee. thank you warriors. thank you web core hunt and those that will build us and jesse hunt and i would like our community partners to come up. we work together in coalition and when we have the opportunity we would like to do this. charity cultural center -- i saw david. mother jackson, the god mother of bay view hunter's point. dan marcos and bay view and i see florence con and what this is about and why it's historic

when we on the community -- we work with workers, communities, folks trying to get on these projects and as the mayor stated and supervisor avalos talked about and local hire is the last thing and typically around good faith and whose faith and it doesn't work this. is mandatory. the warriors are partners in labor. the contractors have submitted to working with us to make local hiring mandatory, 50%. local apprentices will do this. this is historic. it hasn't happened on a project like this and what you're going to see and what we're all excited about. we will see a new generation of local residents come into the trade guaranteed through this agreement commitment and start

their construction career and building this arena and bringing basketball back to san francisco. thank you. [applause] >> i would like to invite our speakers as well as many others to sign the agreement that codifies this commitment between the warriors and labor and the community and the city so i'm going to ask the mayor, rick welts, josh tearo and come up and sign the agreement. the other signators will do it over time so you're not here and we are available for follow up but no questions from the podium so thank you very much. mr. mayor.

process. >> thanks again for everyone's hard work on that. i know it's time consuming, but obviously important that we spend the right amount of time. >> i think you sometimes get out of something what you put into it and we felt that way and we've put in the necessary hours, i think, to make sure the product that comes out will help us to try to find as close a replacement as we can for linda, which is a very difficult thing to do, but we wanted to be as good as it possibly can be. on another subject, i think we were all really thrilled by the giants' win and the parade yesterday. and i had the good fortune to see the entire thing. and i thought some of the remarks by some of the speakers, players and others, rose above the, what you usually get. and particularly was impressed by the remarks of the manager boce and he talked about the life lessons that can be learned from a victory.

some of them perseverance, cooperation, humility are important lessons. and team members doing things that they don't usually do to help the team win. starters pitching in middle relief, pitchers being called upon to deliver big hits and sluggers having to punt and all those sort of things is a good lesson for us because sometimes we have to do things in our lives that we're not accustomed to doing and may not be our job, but we have to do the best we can. and i also was very happy to hear an analogy drawn by sergio romo talking about the giants being a lot like the city of san francisco. i'm paraphrasing his remarks, but he basically talked about the diverse group that comes from all over the world and often different languages, but collectively they can do great things. and he sort of made an analogy to our city. so, i thought that was really good. and finally, buster posy talking about the fact that a

win like this is more than just a win, but it has the ability to be a tonic and lift municipal spirits. and this theory has been brought forward in the past, but i think there is some validity to that. certainly the only admonishment is that even though it's fine to live vicariously with the team, it never gives anyone license to destroy property or assault someone just because there's been a victory. and we don't want to be classified with some of the things that have been said about some cities in the past where they have riots whether they win or lose. and glad yesterday seemed to go very well from what i've heard as far as that was concerned. so, it's great to win, but it's even greater to see good things come out of it for the entire city. >> commissioner moore. >> as a follow-up to comma commissioner antonini was saying, the city looked photo general i can today when you

looked at the area of the civic center, when you looked at literally wearing black and orange, overall it was spectacular. so, i think everybody who participated made it happening. we all can pat each other on the shoulder that this came about in a wonderful way. >> all right. commissioners, that will place us under director's report, item 5, director's announcements. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. i ask just wanted to thank several of you for attending the board hearing on tuesday in honor of linda avery herbert. it was a resolution that was passed -- that was proposed by supervisor olague to honor linda for her 32 years of service and named tuesday as linda avery-herbert day in the

city. several staff attended as well and i think it was an appropriate honor for linda for all of her service to the city. so, thank you all for attending. that concludes my report. thank you. >> which will place us under item 6, review of past week's events at the board of supervisors, board of appeals, and historic preservation commission. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm here to give you your weekly report of the board of supervisors activities. ann murry rodgers, planning department staff. at the land use committee there was one ordinance i'd like to report about and one hearing. the first was the ordinance amending the administrative code to -- for port prepayment of jobs housing [speaker not understood]. this ordinance would encourage the development of affordable housing on port properties. the planning commission did not hold a hearing on this item, but instead requested an informational memo. this week's staff from the legislative sponsor, supervisor kim, explained along with city staff that this ordinance would allow the port and the mayor's office of housing to enter into

a memorandum of understanding whereby the port would receive credits towards their obligations to pay this fee, the jobs housing linkage fee in exchange for the sale or lease of port property to under market rate for affordable housing. that was the longest -- sorry about that. if you have any questions about that, i can explain it again. secondly, there is a hearing on the car sharing program. the director of the mta made a presentation about the importance of car sharing as part of the city's transit first program. also in attendance was the director of the department of the environment and some local car sharing organizations. the presentation covered the transportation code definition for car sharing and the benefits of car sharing and the fact that this is largely a private sector type of transportation which supports our city's transit first policy. that said, the mta said the

city can help in making parking available for this use, both on street and off-street. and staff from mta noted that off-street spaces don't always match the demand that may be needed, and that there are over 2 80,000 on-street parking spaces. sfmta recently start aid pilot program to look at using some of those on-street spaces for car-sharing. and they found that by using this pilot program some people did illegally park on the on-street spaces and that also there was some difficulty in removing some spaces from general use and dedicating them for car-share. that said, sfmta will be expanding their program in the coming year and able to expand it in an equitable manner throughout the city. on tuesday's board hearing, supervisor olague's ordinance was there that would add mend the administrative code to ensure the right to return to revitalized housing.

this commission heard this item on september 27th and since your hearing the supervisor continued to work with other city agencies. this week the ordinance was passed on final reading. supervisor olague's other ordinance requiring housing production report was continued to november 20th. the board also heard the privately owned but publicly accessible open space signage ordinance sponsored by board president chiu. this item was heard on june 7. the supervisor adopted all your recommendation. and after the commission hearing he continued to work with our staff and the mayor's office of disability to ensure that the entire proposal is a-d-a compliant. this week the board passed the ordinance on first reading. next up is the housing trust fund monitoring ordinance also sponsored by board president chiu. this commission approved the ordinance with modification two weeks ago.

supervisor again incorporated all your recommended modifications. and after a hearing, the mayor's office of housing proposed another modification, asking that these reports also include assistance to those earning over 120% or more of ami to capture one program for housing trust fund that focuses on that group. the board approved this ordinance with those amendments on first reading this week. and next up was another ordinance that grew out of board president chiu's northeast legislation. i've counted so far today, that ordinance you heard one piece of legislation has now been split into no less than seven separate ordinances. so, they did take your advice into making it smaller more manageable pieces. this would expand the allowable floor area for commercial uses and would also -- i'm sorry. that's what happened this week. that's what it originally would do. this week the board had voted

to make this change also in the mission rto district whereas when you heard the ordinance you heard from the market octavia group that since the rto district came out of our community planning processes, they wanted to not make any amendments to policies that came out of the planning efforts until the five-year monitoring. however, that said, supervisor campos found a public need to make that amendment to the mission rto district. so, it will allow those corner uses to be a little bit larger. in the mission rto, but not the rto district in the market-octavia plan area. and that ordinance was passed on first reading this week. as you heard, our previous commission secretary was honored and there were many commissioners present as well as staff, but not enough for a quorum. there was one new ordinance introduced this week that i'd like to share with you. it was the polk street alcohol and tobacco paraphernalia restricted use district.

this would amend the planning code to extend restriction on tobacco paraphernalia establishments that would otherwise have expired. it would also establish the lower polk alcohol restricted use district in california [speaker not understood] and some of the associated side streets. so, since this is a planning code amendment we will be bringing this before you within the next three months. and if there are any questions, that concludes my report for this week. >> thank you. any public comment on the supervisors report? seeing none, commissioner antonini. >> thank you. thanks, ms. rodgers, for a great report as always. i think you had said that the mayor's office is continuing to work together with supervisor olague on that legislation that you were alluding to, or is it now being introduced? because i know they were continuing to modify the legislation about the ability for people who had previously

been in public housing to return to that housing -- newly built housing. >> that's correct, she continued to work with not only the mayor's office of housing, but also the housing authority and ndn, both of those agencies came before the land use committee saying they could now support the ordinance as it had been made. * in the end >> great. my other question, i see supervisor kim is here, it's not agendized. i just want more details on her suggestion to the port that they see about the possibility of allowing some of their properties to be used by the mayor's office of housing for affordable housing. just more details on how that would actually work, but i'm sure we'll see more of that as it moves forward. >> actually, staff in consultation with the commission president and vice president prepared an informational memo that you should have gotten last week. i think it was a three to five-page memo. we were not going to schedule a hearing on that particular ordinance, but it is moving to

the process and was heard by the full board on tuesday. >> thank you for calling my attention to that. i'll go back through my materials. i'm sure it's there. >> thank you. >> commissioners, we're at a place under general public comment. at this time the public may address the commission [speaker not understood] with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission for up to three minutes. this category has a 15-minute time frame. and i have one speaker card. >> great. christie lefters. hi, commissioners. thank you for taking the time to hear me. so, as you may recall, i was

here september 6th with the discretionary review hearing regarding 61 1 buena vista west. and there was an action to make the setback, if you remember. >> yes. and i sent an e-mail late this morning. i don't know if everyone -- did anyone read it or receive it? okay. so, i guess basically we're just asking for the commission to take an action or to calendar consideration of such action because the problem with -- i think it was agreed to go back to the corner as a building, the setback. but -- and then it said on the plans or it was written out that it was three additional feet to the two feet, making it five feet. but in field measurements it's not five feet. it's more than five feet. and actually, according to the plan to scale plans, even though it was drawn, it doesn't

equal five feet. so, i think -- and i'm not exactly sure what the procedures are, but, you know, if planning staff or someone can measure it some in the field or off the plans, i guess. >> thank you. [speaker not understood]. dino [speaker not understood]. those who lost their lives and homes and communities in the wake of hurricane sandy. this week we've seen a lot of weather around the east coast and also here in san francisco, and ironically it's been the week of the fire. so,
